Electronic voting method, terminal device and block chain network

Abstract

The invention belongs to the communications technical field and relates to an electronic voting method, a terminal device and a block chain network which are used for improving the credibility of a voting result. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the terminal device generates a piece of random information for each voter; the terminal device determines first digital signatures corresponding to the random information; the terminal device broadcasts voting information to each node in the block chain network, wherein the voting information includes the random information, the first digital signatures and the identifiers of candidates; since blocks in a block chain in each node in the block chain network are generated according to a time sequence, and the sequence of the blocks in the block chain network is equivalent to the effect of time stamps; and each block stores the index of a previous block, so that the voting information in the block chains cannot be tampered, and therefore, the credibility of the voting result is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the communication field, and in particular to an electronic voting method, terminal equipment and a block chain network. Background technique [0002] Online voting is a new voting method that emerged with the development of the Internet. It breaks the time and geographical limitations of traditional voting methods and greatly expands the scope of participating groups. However, most Internet voting currently requires users to be real-named, which makes it impossible for users to choose who they really want to vote for due to various privacy concerns. At the same time, due to the flaws of the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) itself and the complexity of network participant identity verification, it is extremely vulnerable to cheating attacks, such as voter "swiping votes" and other behaviors. Further, the vote counting process in the prior art relies on a vote counting agency to count the votes, and ...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the temporary identity used in this voting method, the legitimacy of the identity of the voter cannot be verified, and it is also easy for the same identity or the same IP to swipe votes multiple times; and the vote counting result is on the server side, and cheating will occur possibility, which in turn leads to poor credibility of voting results
